The intent of this <br />role, though not very clear, is to allow the attachment of awnings and carports to the sidewalls of <br />manufactured dwellings. <br /> <br /> The proper attachment of Im awning or carport should consist of the following: The awning or carport <br /> rail should be attached with lag screws directly to each sidewall stud (studs are usually at 16" on center). <br /> Attachment to the siding only is not acceptable and we do not recommend attaching rails to sidewall top <br /> plates. The single 1" top plates will easily split out from the lag screws and neither 1" or 2" manufactured <br /> dwelling top plates are designed to tr~£ the roof live loads of the manufactured dwelling or the <br /> awning/carport to ~e stads.~~alg~7~~iii.¢~&irr~)t <br /> <br /> ~illlffilll;~llmR~t ·allf. t l~~!O ~ o,,~l~r,',WOu 10.,,b O~ BlOie'.;~' <br />!!~-~euts should be made according to t. he awning/carport manufacturer's <br /> engineered plum with special attention paid to the top and bottom post com~ections and ground anchors. <br /> <br />Regarding your question of which take~ precedence for the attachment of accessory structure~ to <br />manufactured dwellings (manufactured dwelling manufacturer's installation instructions rs. Oregon <br />Specialty Codes), the Oregon Specialty Cod~ take precedence. <br /> <br />Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. We are currently in the process of re-writing the <br />manufactured dwelling roles and will attempt to make this section more clear and mom "user friendly." <br /> <br />PATRICK D.
